Am I the only one who still goes and finds the last remaining vestige of the 'Countdown to Extinction' name (that I know of) in AK whenever I'm over that way? Hopefully it hasn't been removed in the past few years.

No argument there. But that’s not from lack of refurbs and maintenance. That’s as designed.

Let’s hope this ride doesn’t go extinct.

I rode a few weeks ago and it looked great, other than the missing running carno which is apparently back now.

Great!
WDW found one of the three rides that have doable crowds for twenty minutes. Glad they killed this shortcut to happy guests.

I don't know if it's changed but in the past when I've been there in the evening, except for RoL and the lines that slowly diminished in Pandora, the rest of AK was a ghost town after dark.

I go weekly and I didn't even notice it was missing. Was it busted or something?

It just didn't run. It'd sit there, shake, and turn the head a little, but not the full running motion it has now (which is simultaneously impressive and a little scary)

This kind of sucks, but, on my last few visits to DAK, Dinosaur was a total ghost town in the last half hour of operation. I easily got a private Time Rover. I can understand the decision, but I think Disney should reconsider what an impact a walk-on ride can have to a guest's day. If the majority of their day was spent shuffling through huge crowds and long lines, a few walk-on rides at the end of the night is often enough to make up for that and keep them coming back. This used to be the business model - spare no expense to ensure the highest possible percentage of guests have a good enough time to want to come back.
For a few weeks, it was missing and replaced with the stationary carno head they stick in place of any of the full carnos when they are temporarily taken out.
